[QUOTE=ZOOKER;10030121]Mooncrest, I think you're correct about the displays being green monochrome, but having orange filters over them. Even the processed Plessey 22" 'flat-tops' we had at 'CC were like that too, they even had cursor lines and a rotating bearing-ring. Vectoring was a bit like driving a bus![/QUOT

Sounds like fun. The monochrome displays initially used at LBA with the Watchman also had the rotating ring thing. They were upright...sitting on borrowed canteen tables!
